6 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, March 24, 1989 Elections Continued from Page 1 About 57 percent of the voters supported the ballot initiative. Newly elected LSA Rep. Jeffery Veach, who ran with the Conserva- tive Coalition, said he supported having the assembly elect the MAC chair. "It's a good checks and balances system in terms of getting qualified people in these positions," Veach said. Those who proposed-the referen- dum felt that the members of the Minority Affairs Commission should be able to elect their own chair because the majority of the student son the commission are not MSA representatives. The last resolution was a new proposal for removing representa- tives from the assembly due to legal or ethical violations. Had the pro- posal passed, a representative could have been removed from the assem- bly if an investigation committee and two-thirds of MSA members recommended the member's dis- missal.

However, U.S. Embassy and White House officials denied a report in the tabloid Daily Express that U.S. diplomats and military personnel had been notified of the warning but it was being withheld from the public at large - as was the case with a warning prior to the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. The White House press secretary, Marlin Fitzwater, said the warning was issued March 16 and that it was "similar to many, many similar kinds of information and security bulletins that go out." The Bush administration was clearly unhappy the warning had leaked out in a front-page newspaper. Arafat: talks with U.S. were positive TUNIS, Tunisia - Yasser Arafat said yesterday that the second formal meeting between U.S. and PLO representatives was positive and reflected the desire of both sides to make thedialogue a success. Arafat described the content of the meeting between U.S. Ambassador Robert Pelletreau and Yasser Abed-Rabbo of the PLO executive committee as "positive and serious," but gave few details of the discussion. Pelletreau and Abed-Rabbo met for 4-1/2 hours at the Tunisian government's Dar el Maghreibia guest house, with two senior advisers present on each side. The ambassador would not talk about the meeting and referred all inquies to the State Department. It was the second formal meeting since talks began in december, after Arfat publicly renounced terrorism and recognized Israel's right to exist. There was no indicatio whether a third meeting was scheduled, but the PLO chief's mood suggested the dialogue will continue. Rape victims may get funding for abortions by state crime program LANSING - Women who become pregnant as a result of rape still can get state - paid abortions through the crime victims fund, despite a new law that ended most publicly funded abortions, a state official says. Michael Fullwood, administrator of the Crime Victims Compensation Fund, said Wednesday the program wasn't affected by the voter - approved law. Fulwood said bout 9 percent of the claims received by the fund in 1987 fiscal year were filed by sexual assault victims. In the 1987 fiscal year, the fund paid out $2.6 million in direct benefits, of which $1.95 million came from the state general fund and the balance from a crime victim's program of the U.S. Department of Justice. Fullwood said he was surprised the issue was not raised sooner, but he hopes there won't be legislative efforts to stop the fund from paying for abortions. Blanchard unveils pollution plan EAST LANSING - A plan to expand efforts to identify and reduce airborne toxic substances was announced yesterday by Gov. James Blanchard, who said such pollution poses an increasing threat to human health and the Great Lakes. Blanchard said he' 11 ask the Legislature to approve an initial appropriation of $356, 200 to identify the source of airborne toxic chemicals, assess their effects, and identify ways to control the source of such pollution. More than 300 toxic "substances of concern" have been identified in the Great Lakes and more than half of all new toxic substances entering the lakes are believed to be from airborne sources, Blanchard said. The proposal came a day after the federal government put out a study showing that American industry released 2.4 billion pounds of toxic substances into the area in 1987, including 106 million pounds in Michigan. Blanchard issued the proposal at the Governor's Conference on Water. EXTRAS Fawn Hall weeps on witness stand WASHINGTON (AP) - A weeping Fawn Hall praised former boss North yesterday as an inspirational, tireless, and selfless man and said their wholesale shredding of Iran- Contra documents "was no big deal." Alternatively crying and spitting back sharp responses, Miss. Hall twice appeared unable to go on with her testimony at North's trial; causing impromptu recesses. Her sympathies throughout were obviously with North, though she hardly ever looked at him. She called North's firing by then President Reagan on Nov. 25, 1986; unfair. "I was very angry." Miss. Hall who was North's secretary at the National Security Council for nearly four years, admitted that when attorney general's investigators were closing in on Nov. 21. 1986, she altered documents to soften recorded versions of North's involvement with the Nicaraguan Contras. She also said she helped him in what has been called "a shredding party" of Iran- Contra documents. b Mdpgu d The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms by students at the University of Michigan.
